Amelie von Vallentiiv

Shapechanger. If Amelie isn’t in running water or sunlight, she can use her action to polymorph into a Tiny bat, a Medium wolf, or a Medium cloud of mist, or back into her true form.

While in bat or wolf form, Amelie can’t speak. In bat form, her walking speed is 5 feet, and she has a flying speed of 30 feet. In wolf form, her walking speed is 40 feet. Her statistics, other than her size and speed, are unchanged. Anything she is wearing transforms with her, but nothing she is carrying does. She reverts to her true form if she dies.

While in mist form, Amelie can’t take any actions, speak, or manipulate objects. She is weightless, has a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile creature’s space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can do so without squeezing, and she can’t pass through water. She has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and she is immune to all nonmagical damage, except the damage she takes from sunlight.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Amelie fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Misty Escape. When Amelie drops to 0 hit points outside her coffin, she transforms into a cloud of mist (as in the Shapechanger trait) instead of falling unconscious, provided that she isn’t in running water or sunlight. If she can’t transform, she is destroyed.

While she has 0 hit points in mist form, she can’t revert to her vampire form, and she must reach her coffin within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in her coffin, she reverts to her vampire form. She is then paralyzed until she regains at least 1 hit point. After 1 hour in her coffin with 0 hit points, she regains 1 hit point.

Regeneration. Amelie regains 20 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn’t in running water or sunlight. If she takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn’t function at the start of her next turn.

Spellcasting. Amelie is a 13th-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks). She has the following wizard spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): mage hand, prestidigitation, ray of frost, green-flame blade, control flames

1st level (4 slots):comprehend languages, fog cloud, sleep, disguise self

2nd level (3 slots): detect thoughts, blindness/deafness, mirror image

3rd level (3 slots): animate dead, fireball, counterspell

4th level (3 slots): blight, greater invisibility, polymorph

5th level (2 slots): animate objects, scrying, immolation

6th level (1 slot): flesh to stone, globe of invulnerability

7th level (1 slot):simulacrum

Spider Climb. Amelie can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without having to make an ability check.

Vampire Weaknesses. Amelie has the following flaws:

Forbiddance. She can’t enter a residence without an invitation from one of the occupants.

Harmed by Running Water. She takes 20 acid damage if she ends her turn in running water.

Stake to the Heart. If a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into her heart while she is incapacitated in her coffin, she is paralyzed until the stake is removed.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Amelie takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Tether the Veil (Mythic Trait; Recharges after a Short or Long Rest.) When Amelie Von Vallentiiv is destroyed, and the Dark Heart has been awakened, instead of dying her ashes swirl in to a dark shadowy form from which she appears. She regains 212 hit points, becomes immune to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage from nonmagical attacks aswell as resistance to poison and force damage, and gains the following traits:

• Incorporeal Movement. Amelie can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.

• Detect Life. Lady Vallentiiv can magically sense the presence of creatures up to 5 miles away that aren’t undead or constructs. She knows the general direction they’re in but not their exact locations.

Multiattack (Vampire Form Only). Amelie makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.

Clawed Strike (Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, Amelie can grapple it (escape DC 17) instead of dealing the bludgeoning damage.

The Vallentiiv Blade (Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. 14 (1d8 + 11) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) cold damage. A creature attacked this way must succeed a constitution save (save DC 17) or begin suffering from the affect of extreme cold. This affect can be removed from a creature through the greater restoration.

Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Amelie, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Amelie regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under Amelie’s control.

Charm. Amelie targets one humanoid she can see within 30 feet of her. If the target can see Amelie, the target must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed. The charmed target regards Amelie as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. The target isn’t under Amelie’s control, but it takes Amelie’s requests and actions in the most favorable way and lets Amelie bite it.

Each time Amelie or her companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until Amelie is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

Children of the Night (1/Day). Amelie magically calls 2d4 swarms of bats or swarms of rats, provided that the sun isn’t up. While outdoors, Amelie can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of Amelie and obeying his spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until Amelie dies, or until she dismisses them as a bonus action.

Amelie can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Amelie regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Move. Amelie moves up to her speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Clawed Strike. Amelie makes one clawed strike.

Bite (Costs 2 Actions). Amelie makes one bite attack.

Call The Blade (Costs 2 Actions). The Vallentiiv Blade flies in to the air and acts as a dancing sword until the end of Amelie's next turn. While attacking in this way, it does not inflict the extreme cold affect.

If the Countess' Mythic Trait is active, she can use the options below as legendary actions for 1 hour after using Tether the Veil.

Despairing Gaze. Amelie's evernight eyes stare in to the soul of a creature and drain it of hope. The creature must succeed on a DC 18 wisdom saving throw. On a failure roll 1d4 to determine the applied affect.

• (1-2) Apathy. The creature is overwhelmed with crippling apathy, takes 1d6 psychic damage and becomes stunned until the end of Amelie's next turn.
• (3-4) Dread. The creature is shaken to it's core by the darkness glaring back at it, takes 1d6 psychic damage and becomes frightened of Lady Vallentiiv until the end of her next turn.

Living Shadows (Costs 2 Actions). Amelie summons 1d4 shadows to fight along side her.

Consuming Darkness (Costs 3 Actions). Shadows erupt from Amelie plunging the area around her in darkness. A 60ft radius sphere of magical darkness appears, centred on Amelie, all natural light sources in the area are extinguished, and magical light sources require a DC 17 concentration check by the caster or are also extinguished when it appears. Any creature in the darkness not within the range of a light source takes 3d10 psychic damage as the shadows grip them. If this reduces a creature to 0 hit points they are dragged in to the shadowfell. The darkness receds at the end of Amelie's next turn.
